 
Relay for Life-A
Community Effort
Calloway County's Relay for Life event is this Friday and Saturday
from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. at Murray State's Roy Stewart Stadium. WKMS
and many other people and businesses throughout our region have
organized teams for the event - raising money through community
car washes, bake sales, yard sales, rebate days at local restaurants,
and more.
WKMS' Relay team members are: Stephanie Nutter-Osborne, Dr. Jeff
Osborne, Kate Lochte, Dr. Bob Lochte, Ronda Gibson, Mark Welch,
Nicole Erwin, Kathy Thweatt, Chad Lampe, Amanda Felber, Carrie Pond,
Charlie Adams, and Stefanie Boer.
Calloway's effort is only one of thousands taking place across
the nation annually to raise money for the American Cancer Society.
WKMS thanks Jay Baron, Owner of Mugsy's Hideout
on the square in Murray for hosting a rebate day to help support
our Relay team. Jay generously donated 10% of total meals
bought at Mugsy's on April 22 to our team's total. Thanks for working
with us Jay!

WKMS Underwriter Spotlight:
Murray Woman's
Clinic

(Pictured left to right from top: Conrad Jones,
M.D., Thomas L. Green, M.D., Kent Hjerpe, M.D., Janice Thurmond,
ARNP, Sherry Freeman, ARNP, Donna Conatser, IBCLC - ARNP, and
Dawn Nabavi Deeter, M.D.)
This month, WKMS salutes our longtime friends
at the Murray
Woman's Clinic. Over the past several years, the Clinic
has supported the station by providing corporate challenge grants
during our twice-yearly fundraisers. The Clinic's main office
is nestled away under the trees across from Murray-Calloway
County Hospital on South 8th Street with offices in the Regional
Medical Center in Draffenville and the Medical Arts Building
in Cadiz as well.
Seven physicians and three nurse practitioners bring 255 combined
years of service to women in this region. Naturally, these folks
know all about obstetrics, but they also offer services to women
from every stage of life. They offer infertility treatment,
menopause treatment and therapy, diagnosis and treatment of
osteoporosis, and most recently, they've begun offering the
new Essure procedure - a form of permanent birth control performed
in the office with minimal recovery time.
Gary Houck, Practice Administrator and longtime WKMS Member,
credits the nature of public radio when explaining why the Murray
Woman's Clinic continues to support the station. "WKMS provides
in-depth news analysis on issues of national interest including
those related to healthcare. It also provides a variety of music
for all tastes. These attributes make WKMS unique among all
the choices listeners have in this area." Houck continues, "As
scientist and writer William A. Foster once said, 'Quality is
never an accident; it is always the result of high intention,
sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution;
it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.' This describes
WKMS perfectly."
If you want to underwrite quality programming
and reach the WKMS audience with your marketing message, give
us a call at 800/599-4737, or e-mail our Promotion & Development
Director at ronda.gibson@murraystate.edu.
